I was wondering if it's okay to melt a small amount of lead on my stove.

It's
possible but I heard it creates toxic fumes. I only want to melt about 1

worth of fishing sinkers into 1 solid piece. Is this fine or should I

do
it outside?



Everyone stop freaking out? I'm only melting an ounce of lead in a small
skillet I bought for melting zinc. I'm only going to melt lead once in my
life and this is only a small amount. I'm melting it for display so I can
put it in my element collection.



You will die no doubt...just not from Lead poisoning. But, it might rip
a hole in the space/time continuum and destroy the Universe
